I swear, some people keep forgetting about SET bonuses. NO, I cannot wear MS in medium or heavy... and Leviathan doesn't give me SPELL crit. They are not increasing options, they are making it confusing and mudding the waters. [...]
If ZOS truly wants to give options... then they need to go back and change each and every set in the game to offer both stats so that we can actually make any type of gear work for us no matter if we're magicka or stamina.

If all sets provide hybrid/universal stats, it diminishes the impact of decision making when choosing a set over another, since all sets kinda work for any build. On the other hand, if sets are too restricted in their usefulness, then you have no build flexibility and you have to stick to the only viable option for your build.

I like the new changes because it reduces the opportunity costs of wearing one armor piece of a different weight- you're no longer "wasting" an armor slot.

If you want a medium armor magicka set, you can just craft Law of Julianos in medium. It's not Mother's Sorrow, but then again the settings where you need MS are also the settings where you need the magicka sustain of light armor.
